-Remove grass residue with a brush and a plastic scraper if necessary (do not use sharp equipment).
-Remove deposits from the wheels.
-Wipe the machine with a slightly damp cloth.
-Never clean with water or a high pressure jet.

Disposal

Disposal of the appliance

Appliances which are labelled with the adjacent symbol must not be disposed of in household

waste. You must dispose of such old electrical and electronic equipment separately.

– Please check with your local authority about the possibilities for correct disposal.

Disposal of the packaging

The packaging consists of cardboard and correspondingly marked plastics that can be recycled.

- Make these materials available for recycling.

*) The specified values are emission values and do not necessarily represent safe workplace values. Although there is a correlation between emission and immission levels, this cannot be used to infer whether additional safety measures are necessary or not. Factors which affect the current immission levels at the workplace, include the type of room, other sources of noise, e. g. the number of machines operating and other processes taking place in the vicinity. Permitted workplace values can differ from country to country. This information is designed to help the user to better assess the dangers and risks. Determination of noise emission values in accordance with EN 60745-1.

**) The specified vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a normed test procedure and can be used in order to compare one tool with another. The specified vibration emission value can also be used for an introductory evaluation of the exposure. The vibration emission value may fluctuate from the specified value during actual use of the power tool. These fluctuations will depend on the way in which the power tool is used. Try to keep vibrations to a minimum. One method of

reducing the vibration load is, for example, limiting the length of time you work with the tool. All parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account for this purpose (for example, also including times in which the power tool is switched off and times in which it is switched on, but is running without load). Determination of vibration emission values in accordance with EN EN 60335-1.
